In this podcast, host Ari Daniel Shapiro relates two close calls with polar bears (Ursus maritimus). Listen as Heather Cray recalls how, dumped by a storm on a small Arctic island, she got an unexpected wake-up call. And when researcher Steve Amstrup accidentally crashed through the roof of a polar bear’s den, no one could predict what happened next.
